Did you hear the one about the "Anarchist" that gets a government check ?


In both instances, funding government schools and rape, a threat of force to an otherwise peaceful person is involved. Can you refute that point or are you just going to sit there dumbfounded ?

If public school are teaching rape, my VA disability check is definitely rape.

Were you born retarded or have you just always been a retard?

I was born on an island and lived in a hut as a young child. I typically tested in the upper 90th percentile as a kid after I left the island, but I'm not convinced that means as much as some other people that test there do. So, it's probably pretty safe to say I'm not a retard.

Your V.A. disability check would be fine if all of the people that are involved in that system had voluntarily taken part in it. If any person is forced to fund you, under threat of harm, it's alot like the funding of government schools and alot like anything else that has an origin in threats...like rape. If you'd like you could refute that and show me how consistent and smart you are by proving my assertion inaccurate. Go for it...genius.

I'll be laying in a hammock here in Palawan laughing at you while you compare my VA disability with rape.

Inb4 pedophilia is described as consensual.

You are flailing in the branches. Strike the root causes.

The coercive institution itself needs examining, not "let's think of better ways to be coercive". Your arguments are attempts to move the furniture around in a house with a weak foundation as if that will cure the caving in.



If government schools are so good, why must they rely on coercive funding to exist? I bet you won't give a credible answer to that.

in other words, no one is forced to live where property taxes are high, they choose to do so in order to send their kids to the best schools.

the FREE MARKET HAS SPOKEN, spaMBLA.

If a person has a real choice, isn't not participating in something, especially when that something is funded via force part of the equation? Your default position is one that defines permission as freedom.

Not that it is striking the root problem, but I'll deflate your stupid argument too. Property taxes are not fixed, a person could own a home and really like it, then their taxes could rise substantially without there consent, while they still occupy the home.

Please explain what must exist for a market to be free? Here, I'll give you a clue, it's not somebody else making your choices...

Shouldn't Spambla be capitalized?

Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) has a new study out finding urban charter schools outperform traditional public schools (TPS) in urban areas. The results are the latest in mounting evidence that many charter schools provide tremendous benefit to students — particularly those located in urban areas.

"The charter school sector has gotten to a point of maturity where it's dominated by established charters that have stood the test of time and are operating a lot more efficiently and effectively for kids, and so we're starting to see now this general positive impact of charters on student achievement,” Patrick Wolf, PH.D., a distinguished professor in the Department of Education Reform at the University of Arkansas, told Business Insider.

The study looked at 41 urban areas in 22 states.

It's just Stanford though, I'm sure they are biased against public schools.

yeah, it's just stanford.

A national study on charter school quality by Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) found that academic growth in 37 percent of charter schools is significantly worse than traditional public schools. In addition, 46 percent of the charter schools have the same academic results as traditional public schools.

If voluntary interactions make people feel good and government schools are funded involuntarily under threat of force for noncompliance, wouldn't YOU then feel better supporting a school that doesn't rely on threats for funding ?

Are voluntary human or involuntary human interactions better ?

You should have thought that way BEFORE you used public schooling for your own 3 educated children. I enjoy supporting my local schools even after my children has left them. You should do the same.
